What you're suggesting is basically the trust system duplicated for post quality.
I think it's better to get rid of users with only crappy posts. Ban them instead of turning them red.
The merit system takes care of the good posters, and allows them to stand out.

The difference between an experienced potty-mouth like TMAN and an aspiring one like Nagesh021 is that that the latter has no chance of coming up with a proper insult due to lack of context and knowledge about the opponent so he/she is just projecting his/her own insecurities into the debate.
Kind makes me feel a bit sorry for Nagesh021 now that I've said it. I mean how poor and desperate do you have to be to do those stupid bounties and to think that "I'll buy your town" means anything. Why would anyone even want to own a town? Perhaps Nagesh021 lives in someone's private town and doesn't know any better.
Spot on! I also think "princess" is a much stronger insult than "asshole". The latter shows desperation. |

I have sent him a PM requesting that he re opens the thread.
Many of his posts were deleted, so I think the thread was locked by a Mod. |

I wouldn't be completely against the idea of removing the default merits to further distinguish the good quality posters from those who earned it by just being around here for a long time, and being somewhat active. Probably a little bit of an extreme measure though.
A less extreme option would be to remove zero-point-something merit from the airdrop per day. That would instantly drop the rank of users with very bad posts, while people who earned some merits once in a while won't be effected. I don't think it's fair to expect Legendary users to earn 1000 merit in half a year to keep the rank, while a Full Member only needs to earn 100 in the same amount of time. |

I am against removing merit for deleted posts, because some posts are worth reading until the entire thread gets trashed. For example: a scam warning.
But I'd have to agree the large majority of merited deleted posts must be merit abuse.
I have a different suggestion: in the user profile, behind the merit amount, add the percentage of merit earned for deleted posts. If it is 2% nobody will bat an eye, of it's 80% it is obvious not to rely on the merit count for that user.

Each page takes about 15 seconds to load today. I was expecting to find a topic about this, but there's none.
Is it just me? I have the same problem on 2 devices.
Update: I got a Cloudflare message, and it works fine again. I guess DDOS protection is on now.

How do I get some merits? Make good posts. And what is the advantage of a bitcointalk community member being merited?
Why do you even want merit, if you don't know what it's for? |

If its the only way, then how about adding some extra features on it which is the IP BAN. In which these bots are surely connected with 1 IP ADDRESS.
I think you, Vod and Dmdmdr ( should I also include Jet Cash? I think he's also knowledgeable in this kind of field ) can make this possible also with the help of some mods here.
Mods don't have access to IP addresses, only Admins. |

Why memorize the private key right before sweeping (I don't think you used import) it?
Welcome to the forum, stick around with constructive posts!

Who are involved in censoring this website? It's a threat to my freedom of speech
That's not how freedom of speech works. It doesn't give your the right to spam a private forum. |

OP is a FUD spammer. Tell me OP, what is your agenda? Is someone paying you for this?
Bitcoin has gone through much worse.

Thoughts: the title is useless, it should describe the thread instead of trying to be clickbait.
I've also seen a similar topic not so long ago. Its trivial information, but too much work to use.

I partially agree with both above. Self-moderate threads are abused on the marketplace board. I don't think its wise to use it in a (political) discussion thread either.
But it works great against people who can't follow simple rules, or can't be bothered to even read the OP.
When I self-moderate a thread that has to do with money and my reputation on being fair, I often archive the thread and post the link. I hope this prevents it from looking shady.

I'll post deposit addresses in the morning. My post is almost ready, but I want to triple check everything when I'm fully awake again.

Perhaps at some point in the last 30 days you sent some of your earned sMerits.
I've never been out all source merit, so that's not possible. |

You don't own Bitcoin on exchange addresses. Its the account you own. So to clarify: did funds disappear from your exchange account?
If you lose funds from your Bitcoin address, nobody can help you. Be your own bank works both ways.

Anyone for a vouch
I'll take one. Read my signature first, send the vouch to my main account If you send the VCC set in USD, I'll see if I can use it to register a PayPal account through VPN. I've always wanted one for currency exchange purposes, but without further kyc. |

I am trying to find a reported user there but I did not find it in modlog.
User is also inactive for last 2 days.

You seem to think it's a bad thing spammers can't rank up. It's not, it's exactly what the merit system was designed for.
So no.
